Answers with Ken Ham - Only Eight People

This is Ken Ham, author of the powerful apologetics book, A Flood of Evidence. Many Christians believe Noah’s flood was just a local event. This idea doesn’t come from the Bible—it comes from squeezing millions of years into Scripture. You see, if the flood really was global, then all the rock layers didn’t take millions of years to form. Instead, they were formed just a few thousand years ago during the flood. So, to accept millions of years, you have to reinterpret the flood. But in both the Old and New Testaments we read that only the eight people on the Ark survived. With a local flood people outside the area would’ve been fine. This contradicts Scripture. The Bible is clear—the flood was global. Dig Deeper A Flood of Evidence 5 Confirmations of a Worldwide Flood
